New details from the Phoenix Police Department reveal an officer fatally shot a man who had disarmed a home invasion suspect before police arrived at a home near 75th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road on Jan. 26.
Venuzela is 1st with 1829.9 per 10M
USA is at 39th with 33.1 per 10M
Poland is at 60th with 0.5 per 10M
Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland and Croatia are recorded as 0
Declaring something happens in every country with armed police Is asinine when it happens 55 times more in some places and 66 times less in others.
When there are countries with such a dramatically lower rate of security services killing civilians there are important lessons to be learned there, rather than throwing up our hands and saying something like “well states will murder wherever states exist, don’t worry about it, it’s normal”
I think their point is less “states kill so there’s nothing to be done” and more, “states kill so we know exactly what to do”. Not to say you don’t have a point about frequency but I’m just saying anarchists exist.
Yeah, fair that is probably a truer reading of their intent, I will edit my post to refer to yours.
I would still argue that taking proven approaches that cut security services related murders by up to 98.5% is worth doing and dismissing that on the basis that anarchism if somehow implemented in the US would solve the last 1.5% is…
Well whatever, I don’t want to try to debate people out of anarchism, especially not here.
Pretty much any country with armed police.
Do you think state sponsored violence is unique to the US?

Is that why America invaded Venezuela? So they could be 1st in law enforcement murders?

29th, not 39th from that link you gave.
Fixed, thank you.
Pretty much yes, among developed countries. But the USA is really a third world country by all counts, except for greed (economy).
No, but a quick check on my own country’s national news site shows no such category.
Watchpeopledie does however, and the majority of those posts are of americans.
Countries that exhibit high fatal police violence rates - the U.S., Venezuela, Canada, Australia, Brazil, France and Belgium - are distinguished by their mistreatment of minorities or long- standing grievances and turmoil, said Paul Hirschfield, lead author of the study and an associate professor of sociology and director of the Criminal Justice Program at Rutgers
